At a glance
The Tacks XF gives you way more curve and flex options with a mid-kick feel built for loading up heavy shots, while the HZRDUS 9X4 Pro Stock is a genuine NHL-spec low-kick stick at a noticeably lower price but locks you into one flex and one curve. If customization matters, the Tacks XF wins; if you want a pro-spec quick-release setup and fit the 100 flex, the HZRDUS is hard to ignore.
